Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 66-3725 CV Axle Assembly, avoid letting the axle shafts hang unsupported to prevent joint damage. Use a torque wrench rather than an impact wrench to install the retaining nut, as impact tools can damage components. Always replace axle nuts with new ones, as reusing prevailing torque lock nuts is not recommended. Ensure the ABS ring is properly aligned to avoid sensor errors and ABS warning lights.
